The firm has received the project at a cost of ₹566.59 crore. On behalf of Greater Chennai Corporation, CMAML is implementing this project.
The project aims to create an integrated development for commuters wherein they will have access to a modern bus terminal and commercial spaces, according to a press release. The bus terminal which will be built with basements, ground and first floors will be ready in two years. The Multi Modal Facility Complex and the Kuralagam building will need more time and is likely to be ready in 30 months.
While the entire project space sprawls over an area of 6.484 acres, the Multi-Modal Facility's area is 1,08,290 sq.m. which comprises two basements, a ground floor and eight upper floors. There will be 73 bus bays in total, with 36 on the ground floor, 23 on the first floor of Multi Modal Facility Complex and 14 at Kuralagam. The Kuralagam building which is to be redeveloped will come up over 22,794 sq.m. with two basement levels, ground floor and nine upper floors. This apart, Multi Modal Facility Complex will also house office spaces from the second to the eighth floor.
Meanwhile, the Kuralagam building will accommodate retail spaces on its ground, first, and second floors, and there will be office spaces from the third to the ninth floor, the release said. An air-conditioned concourse facility will link these buildings for commuters.
The complex is strategically located to facilitate easy access from various parts of the city. It will include foot overbridges and subway facilities for seamless integration with the High Court Metro station, the release said. An extensive parking area has also been planned which can take in 433 cars and 1,174 two-wheelers in Multi Modal Facility Complex and Kuralagam.

GAIL receives first vessel post-breakwater at Dabhol, aims to handle 100 LNG cargoes annually
New Delhi: GAIL (India) Limited has commissioned the breakwater at the Dabhol LNG Terminal , enabling uninterrupted, year-round operations and marking a significant milestone with the berthing and unloading of its first LNG vessel, GAIL Bhuwan, on June 2, 2025. The Dabhol LNG Terminal, located on the Maharashtra coastline, has a current regasification capacity of 5.0 million metric tonnes per annum (MMTPA). The facility, following the commissioning of the breakwater and receipt of statutory approvals, has now been designated as an all-weather port. This allows for safe and reliable LNG operations even during the southwest monsoon period, which has historically been a challenging time for marine logistics along India's west coast. The LNG vessel was received by GAIL Chairman and Managing Director Sandeep Kumar Gupta and Director (Marketing) Sanjay Kumar. The development is expected to improve capacity utilization and strengthen LNG vessel accessibility at the terminal. The terminal plays a key role in India's gas supply infrastructure, being connected to the Dabhol-Bangalore and Dabhol-Panvel cross-country pipelines. The breakwater structure at Dabhol is an island-type construction, distinct from land-connected designs, and is regarded as an advanced marine engineering undertaking. The project required extensive coordination among multiple stakeholders and adoption of customized technical solutions to overcome complex challenges. Following the completion of the breakwater, GAIL plans to expand the Dabhol terminal's capacity from 5.0 MMTPA to 6.3 MMTPA in the first phase over the next three years. Once operational, the expanded terminal is expected to handle up to 100 LNG cargoes per year. GAIL stated that the successful commissioning and the planned capacity expansion align with its goal to enhance energy infrastructure and ensure greater reliability in India's natural gas supply chain.
